Nish Panesar star Navin Chowdhry has opened up about his time on EastEnders as he exited the BBC soap this week in dramatic scenes
Navin Chowdhry has revealed what he took from the EastEnders set after his final day on set.
As part of a huge exit storyline, Nish Panesar fell to his d3ath in shocking scenes on New Year’s Day. He tried to poison Suki Panesar’s new wife Eve Unwin in huge scenes, before insisting they both had to di3 too.
After a confrontation, Suki ran onto the balcony and cried for help, with Nish following her and unknowingly tangling himself up in her wedding dress so that when he goaded his son Ravi to push him, it meant Suki fell off the balcony too.

Luckily for Suki, Nish falling first saved her life whilst Eve was also saved by the paramedics and hospital staff, meaning that Eve and Suki can recover and now live their lives without the interference of evil villain Nish.
As he departs the soap, Navin has revealed what he was given when he left the soap. He confessed: “I’ve got my Albert Square board, and Chris Clenshaw gave me some cufflinks. Obviously cufflinks were a big part of the Sixmas story, and a big part of Nish’s journey. He gave me the most beautiful set of cufflinks with the EastEnders Thames logo, and I will wear them with huge pride. I will now always have a little bit of Walford with me whenever I wear my suit.”

Asked about his favourite memories from his time on the show, Nish revealed being part of the Christmas Six story was something he would never forget. He said: “My favourite would have to be the Sixmas story. That was a flagship event for the whole show.
“There was so much hype and speculation beforehand in the press, but also between us as actors as none of knew what was going on for a large part of it. So, to be a part of that storyline, but to be the body on The Vic floor; a moment that had been publicised for the best part of a year is something that I think will always make me smile. That was just a wonderful gift, and to work with all of The Six was incredible. I’ve got a real love and affection for all of them. We were all looking at each other thinking, this is massive.”
*EastEnders airs Mondays through Thursdays at 7.30pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
